Girls.. Do u want to know if a guy likes you?

1. Examine his body language. If he likes you, you may see that he leans towards you. Notice if he shows off in your presence. For example:
   
   • He may approach you and try to impress you, or get your attention by getting in your personal space. If he likes you, and you like him, neither of you will step back. If he ever says, “hey watch this” or something else there’s a big chance he likes you. A bad habit that people sometimes do is tried to put other boys down to make them look good.
   
   
2. Notice his eye contact. If he likes you, he’ll try to catch your eye and hold it. This can be uncomfortable if you don’t like him (or vice versa). If you feel like you have held eye contact just a fraction of a second longer than you would with anyone else, or if he looks away quickly, then there is something there.
   
   • His pupils may dilate if he likes you, but this is quite hard to pick up on, and you might come across as acting strangely by looking that closely into his eyes.
   
   
3. Be aware of touching. He might put his hand on your arm when he laughs, or not move his legs if it happens to touch yours, or he may hug you for small things – all are good signs of a guy liking you.
4. Watch for him showing interest in things you like and do. Notice the way he treats you – does he playfully tease you, or call you names, just to try and get your attention? It’s natural for a guy to tease when he likes a girl, but remember, someone can still tease someone, even if they aren’t attracted to them. But remember, some guys simply will not tease you.
5. Check for signs of nervousness. Nervous laughter, sweaty palms, fidgeting, looking away quickly when you notice if he is watching you are all good signs of an attraction towards you and that he is nervous about making an impression on someone he fancies. Also notice if you call his name, does his head snap around right away or does it turn gradually?
6. Smile- A big smile in return is a good sign. See if he always ends up in the same part of the room as you; perhaps he keeps going out of his way to bump into you and to flash his smile in your direction.
7. Pay attention to his friends. If they know he’s interested in you, they might tease him subtly when you’re around, hint to you that he likes you, or even try to find out if you like him. Study their reactions to your presence – do they smile? Do they turn to him? Do they smirk in a way that suggests they know something that you don’t? If so, then there’s a good chance that they know that he really does like you.
8. Have a friend ask him. Try to get someone who is basically unknown to the guy ask him what he thinks about other girls – the conversation doesn’t necessarily have to involve you, but you could ask your friend to drop subtle hints, or try in any way possible to find about anything they can about his feelings towards you.
9. Be open! Give him room to approach you and talk to you – it can ruin the situation if he hasn’t got any opportunity to do so, for example if your friends are giggling in the background, or you are never on your own.
10. Pay attention to how many times he uses your name. If you talk to him often, watch how many times he uses your first name. People tend to use your name to get your attention, and it shows that they think about you! For example, if you say something, and he replies with “haha, nice, so-and-so” it means he thinks about what he is saying more than if he replies with “haha, nice.” The second doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you, but using your name is usually a tell-tale sign.
11. Notice his behavior in conversation. Sometimes when guys ask you questions and other people distract the conversation or cut him off, he’ll just forget about it. If you notice that he keeps asking or changing the subject back to the question until you answer, then he may like you – but if the topic is something serious, he may just want to know out of curiosity.
12. Notice these tell-tale signs:
    
    
    
    • If he wants to talk to you all the time,
    • If he starts acting nicer when you’re around him,
    • If he says yes to all the things you ask him to do,
    • If he treats you differently to other girls,
    • If he looks at you a lot every time you smile or laugh.
    • If he acts immature around you, like poking, teasing or playful flirting,
    • If he seems to always want to hang out with you,
    • If he gets closer with a body part, or if he tries to touch you,
    • If you catch him peeking at you and he smiles,
    • If he tries to make you laugh, or if he tries to copy you,
    • If he walks up to you out of the blue and hugs you,
    • If he tries to keep you in view for as long as possible, or tends to look around and stop when he finds you,
    • If he subtly looks at you but makes it look like he is looking at the girl next to him,
    • If he goes out of his way to talk to you, for example if he goes to the other side of the school to talk to you because he knows you have a class there.
    • If you block him on instant messenger and stop talking to him, and he finds a way to talk to you,
    • If he invites you to his birthday party or any kind of party,
    • If you flirt with a friend of his when he can see, and he looks jealous or automatically flirts back,
    • If he talks to you and wants to know how you’re doing,
    • If he is nicer or tries to talk to your friends.
    • If he asks about you to your friends when you’re not around
    • If he asks you to dance with him at the dance.
    
    

10 Principles for Peace of Mind

1. Do Not Interfere In Others’ Business Unless Asked:
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others’ affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God.. God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way. Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive And Forget:
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forgive,20Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

3. Do Not Crave For Recognition:
This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourse lf in striving for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely.

4. Do Not Be Jealous:
We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be jealous? No. Remember everybody’s life is shaped by his/her destiny, which has now become his/her reality. If you are destined to be rich, nothing in the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere; it will only take away your peace of mind.

5. Change Yourself According To The Environment:
If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured:
This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully. Believe in yourself and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.

7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew:
This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. . Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.

8. Meditate Regularly:
Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.

9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant:
An empty mind is the devil’s workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or religious work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God’s name.

10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret:
Do not waste time in protracted wondering ” Should I or shouldn’t I?” Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Why cry over spilt milk?

ICC awards - Indians Shine

Indians shone at the International Cricket Council awards night with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir named as the ODI and Test Players of the Year at a glittering ceremony on Thursday.

The most coveted Cricketer of the Year Award, however, went to Australian Mitchel Johnson who had a phenomenal year with both the bat and the ball in Test and ODI crickets in the past year.

Johnson beat Dhoni, Gambhir and England captain Andrew Strauss in a four-way race for the ICC Cricketer of the Year Award.

The 27-year-old Australian fast bowler took 80 wickets from 17 matches he played in the year along with 632 valuable runs at an average of 30.09, including a century.

In the 16 ODIs he played during the year, Johnson scalped 28 victims and scored 83 runs in the voting period from August 13, 2008 to August 24, 2009.

Interestingly, Gambhir won the Test Player of the Year Award by beating Johnson, Strauss and Sri Lankan Thilan Samaraweera.

Gambhir scored 1269 runs from eight matches he played in the voting period with an astronomic average of 84.60 with five hundreds.

His captain Dhoni retained the ODI Player Year of the Year Award, which he won last year also.

Dhoni played 24 ODIs in the voting period from which he scored 967 with nine fifties at an average of 60.43, the strike rate being 86.63.

The Indian skipper beat strong competition from his own two team-mates in Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag, and West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Dhoni was also named captain of both the Test and ODI Teams of the Year. Both the world teams have three Indians each with Dhoni being one of them.

Besides Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and Gambhir found place in the world Test Team while Sehwag and Yuvraj figured in the ODI side.

Another Indian, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was named as the 12th man in the world Test team.

The selection panel for the awards was chaired by former West Indian captain Clive Lloyd. Other members of the panel included Anil Kumble (India), Bob Taylor (England), Mudassar Nazar (Pakistan) and Stephen Fleming (New Zealand).

Dhoni Crisis:
         Dhoni is repeatedly missing many award functions. This has created a huge negative wave over his image.. He has earlier missed our nation's most prestigious Padmashri Award function and now again the ICC award. Whatever the situation may be, the respect for the award should be given. Without attending the award function, Dhoni flew back to India yesterday. Even though he said that he was ashamed for his team's performance in the Champions Trophy, He should have stayed for the award ceremony in South Africa. Gautam got the award in the function.

It Runs In Their BLOOD

One of my Close friend wanted to share the following article with you.. I too felt that, In this special day, October 1- World Blood Donation day, this is worth a share..


The mind of man is active since birth and he notices a lot of things around him and forms opinions. Certain attitudes change with time, yet certain others remain intact which we call as the ‘nature of a person’. Researchers and analysts believe that our blood groups reveal a lot about our personality.


Though generalizations cannot be made it can be said that blood groups do influence traits like aggressiveness, kindness and an impulsive nature. Though this is not the only way to judge a person let us look into some interesting insights of researchers. Our health, our reactions and food or sport preferences are also associated with our blood group.


Those with blood group ‘O’ are generally born leaders. They are practical and seldom like to be ordered. They are sensitive and also prefer that others be soft with them. Group ‘O’ people are not really finicky about perfection and they love life. This makes them easy going and likeable.


Meticulous and having an eye for detail, group ‘A’ people find it difficult to forget the past. They are perfectionists. Being dependable, sensitive and caring, they are more concerned about societal pressures. They are truthful, but prone to anger. Group ‘A’ people make good friends.


Group ‘B’ people are very much into scientific findings and find it difficult to take instructions. They like to have their own way and are very sincere about their work. Tolerance is not their virtue and they are very expressive about their desires. They live in the past and yet are innovative because they dislike repetitive tendencies.


Artistic and industrious, group ‘AB’ people are multi taskers. An asset for the society they are practical and passionate. Their dark side is that they are moody and one cannot predict their reactions.
